Thames Aerial Imagery at Mortlake Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Mortlake Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames aerial imagery team is authorised and equipped for operations at Mortlake Reach. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
Flight planning at Mortlake Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations at Mortlake Reach. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
What deliverables can you provide from Mortlake Reach?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Who owns the footage from the Mortlake Reach shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
